Competitive Advantage: Processa Approach to Obtaining Drug Approval

Over the Last 30+ Years, Our Team Has Refined a Regulatory Science Platform or Approach for the Development of Drugs for FDA Approval

  • The Regulatory Science Platform is based on our experience teaching FDA

reviewers, conducting research funded by FDA for FDA Guidances, writing FDA Guidances, developing drugs for FDA approval, and meeting with FDA as a colleague and as a sponsor

  • R&D studies are conducted to provide the scientific foundation upon which

FDA will make regulatory decisions, not for scientific knowledge

  • Processa does not focus on one therapeutic area but has the knowledge and

expertise to obtain drug approvals across therapeutic areas having successfully interacted with almost every FDA division

We Know The Way To The FDA

Pharmacology

  • f PCS499 &

Metabolites Broad PDE Inhibitor Anti- Fibrotic Effect Inhibits Cytokines (eg, TNFα) Inhibits Platelet Aggreg. Decrease Blood Viscosity Anti- Inflamm.

  • PCS499 metabolizes to same active

moieties as PTX (including reversibly metabolized to PTX itself) but the metabolite profile is different after PCS499 administration than PTX (i.e., the % exposure to various active metabolites and administered drug is different)

  • PCS499 and active metabolites have a

diverse pharmacology profile

  • Originally developed by Concert

Pharmaceuticals in Diabetic Nephropathy, taken to an end of Phase 2 meeting

PCS499: Deuterated Analog of a Major Active Metabolite

  • f FDA Approved Pentoxifylline (PTX)

Patient Need: No Approved Treatment for Necrobiosis Lipoidica (NL)

  • Occurs in women/men 20 – 60 y/o and NL can last for

months to years

  • Skin becomes necrotic with complications such as infections,

amputation, squamous cell cancer

  • 30% of NL patients have painful ulcers with ulcer closure
  • ccurring in < 13% of these patient 1-2 years after onset
  • No standard of care or FDA approved treatment; no other

company developing a drug for NL

  • Dermatologists mainly use topical steroids and other drugs

with poor response

  • Pentoxifylline (PTX) is not approved for NL but has been

used off-label to close ulcers in a small percentage of patients who can tolerate the highest labelled dose of PTX

SLIDE 17

High Value: Faster Time to Market

  • Development of PCS499 can be expedited given many of the NDA required chemistry,

manufacturing, toxicology and Phase 1 studies have already been conducted by Concert Pharmaceuticals prior to Processa acquiring the drug.

  • In a March 2020 meeting, FDA stated that, given NL is a serious orphan condition with no

approved treatment, PCS499 approval would be possible with one pivotal trial if the statistical significance of the one trial has a p << 0.05. – Received Orphan Designation (7 years of Market Exclusivity upon approval)

17

slide-18
SLIDE 18

High Value: Differentiation from other Treatments

  • Since there is no standard of care for NL because appears to work, a new efficacious-safe

drug would easily differentiate itself from the unsuccessful treatments used today

  • After PCS499 administration, the same active moieties exist systemically as in PTX but the

amounts of key active moieties after the same dose of PCS499 and PTX are approximately 2 times greater after PCS499 administration

  • Although PCS499 has greater plasma levels of some of the key active moieties, PCS499 is

better tolerated than PTX – In pre-clinical toxicology studies, the maximum tolerated dose for PCS499 >> PTX – In Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, PCS499 is tolerated better than PTX – In NL patients 1.8 gm/day of PCS499 administered orally was well tolerated while PTX is not well tolerated at 1.2 gm/day, the max FDA recommended dose

18

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Lower Risk: Clinical Evidence Exists Supporting the Use of PTX and PCS499 in NL

  • PTX is used OFF-LABEL and response can start after 1 month with significant improvement

within 1-9 months (published case studies and clinical experience)

  • PTX does not have widespread use; a small percentage of patients respond at the maximum

tolerated dose of PTX while some patients cannot tolerate the highest dose of PTX

  • Increasing PTX dose beyond 1.2 gm/day to achieve higher response rate results in dose

limiting side effects (nausea, vomiting, headaches)

  • The Phase 2 PCS499 NL study demonstrated that 1.8 gm/day is well tolerated and

completely closed the ulcers in the only two patients who had severe ulcerative NL – Closing of ulcers is also observed clinically in some patients who can tolerate PTX – Ulcer closure occurs in < 13% of non-treated ulcerated patients 1-2 years after onset

Status of Safety/Tolerability PCS499 NL Study

  • PCS499 well tolerated at 1.8 gm/d and efficacy seen in the two NL patients with open ulcers; the

ulcers in these severe NL patients completely closed

  • Ulcers occurring from physical contact during the study were also completely closed

PCS11T: Next Generation Irinotecan Cancer Drug

  • A pro-drug of SN-38, the active molecule formed from Irinotecan

– SN-38 is connected to a molecule that interacts with the cell membrane; SN-38 preferentially accumulates in the membrane of tumor cells and the tumor core more than normal cells

  • PCS11T development will target cancers where Irinotecan is widely used (eg, small cell lung,

metastatic colorectal, pancreatic)

  • Irinotecan sales prior to generics was > $1B
  • Pre-clinical studies

– PCS11T has an efficacy advantage over Irinotecan as demonstrated by tumor eradication at much lower doses than Irinotecan across various tumor xenograft models – GMP CMC studies and GLP tox studies need to be completed for IND

  • Pre-IND FDA meeting completed with agreement on IND requirements

PCS100 Anti-fibrotic and Anti-inflammatory Drug

  • Affects collagen expression and TGF-β pathway
  • History

– Incomplete tox package but FDA cleared IND for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) – Efficacy observed in pediatric DMD patients; previous company mismanaged DMD study resulting in a Serious Adverse Event; placed on clinical hold, later removed off clinical hold

  • Potential Indications (Processa plans to first develop PCS100 in an adult indication, then move

back to pediatric indications after more is known about therapeutic window) – Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Scleroderma, other fibrotic related conditions in adults – DMD or other fibrotic related conditions in pediatric patients

  • Plan to meet with FDA in 2021 to define the development in an adult fibrotic condition where there

is existing clinical evidence that a drug with ant-fibrotic properties would be efficacious
